Felt better this evening and after being out working in the rain, running in the snow now did not seem appealing. Hopped on the treadmill and went for a 10 mile progressive pace run. Moved into a 6:40/mi pace rather quickly after only a couple minutes of slow jogging. After mile 3 was cruising right along at a 5:42/mi pace for about 2 miles, then 5:36, 5:33, 5:18 and finished with a 5:13/mi. 1% incline. THR-152-168bpm. THR was a bit high on the faster miles, probably a result of this weird kindervirus. I have noticed that using a fan can maximize things and bring the heartrate down quite a bit, not to mention the fact that you also do not have to drip sweat all over the place. The run went well with all things considered however, and did not feel overly exertive. 10 miles total this evening. 59:11 total time. |
